Description

I never thought I would have to live without him. He was my soulmate, my best friend, my partner in everything. We met when we were both young and adventurous, and we spent 30 years exploring the world and enjoying each other's company. He was selfless, kind, and inspirational to many. He was the love of my life.

But in 2020, everything changed. He was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer, and despite all the treatments and trials, nothing could stop it. He fought bravely and gracefully, never losing his optimism. He told me he was not afraid of dying, but he was heartbroken for leaving me. He made me promise to keep living, to find joy and meaning in every day, to not let grief consume me. He said he would always be with me, in my heart and in my memories.

On my podcast I share what I have done to fulfill my promise to find that joy and to find meaning in my whole new life. I openly share what I’ve learned and how I’ve grown — the good, the bad, the ugly, and the challenging. I am real, raw, and honest on every episode.

My story should not be interpreted in any way as expert, health, or medical advice. I chose to share my story, in my voice, to assure people they are not alone and perhaps provide a bit of inspiration or a glimpse of hope, if needed.

Music: Percussive Acoustic Cover of My Hero performed by Jason Busse
